Ingredients for Fried Cabbage with Bacon and Shrimp

Cabbage – I use green cabbage and red cabbage. If you’re not a fan of red cabbage, you can just use green cabbage.
Bacon ends – the bacon ends add a nice smoky flavor to the entire dish. Since bacon ends are on the fatty side, I use the fat rendered from the bacon to fry the other ingredients.
Andouille sausage – This spicy sausage definitely adds some cajun flavor and plenty of heat. If you’re not a fan of spicy sausage, feel free to replace it with your favorite smoked sausage.
Shrimp – I used large Red Argentine Shrimp for this recipe because it was on sale! Use your favorite kind of shrimp, or be like me – and get what’s on sale! Just make sure that it’s peeled and deveined and the tails are removed.
Great Value Seasoning Mix – I just love how convenient it is!! This mix is a combination of onions, peppers, celery, and parsley. Since everything is in the bag and chopped up, it saves me time. Also, it’s really inexpensive.
Rosamae Seasonings Down By The Bayou – which is my Cajun Seasoning. It adds all the cajun flavor and also adds color to the dish. This blend is perfect for blackening catfish or chicken!
Rosamae Seasonings Seafood Magic – My brand’s all-purpose seafood seasoning! I use it to season the shrimp.
Salted Butter – Used along with the Seafood Magic for the shrimp
Garlic
Rosamae Seasoning Seasoning Salt
